I try not to concern myself with the weather too much in the winter time.

It's cold
Wear a sweater under your jacket
Bring your hat and gloves; you'll probably need them
I get it.

I notice a lot of people getting excited when the first warm day hits.

"Holy Crap it's warm out!  I'm gonna wear shorts and sandals!"

Of course, it drops back down to winter ( Read more... )

I don't have anything substantial to write about today (well... I'm sure I could think of something to write about, but I still need to finish up a lab report and then sleep), but I just wanted to talk about the various things that happened today ( Read more... )

Today in Biodiv class we had a writing workshop.  I was kind of nervous about it all weekend, because our prof told us that she would be taking examples of poor writing from each of our technical reports and put them on the PowerPoint presentation for all to see and correct.  After a basic overview, we looked at some poor writing from the 2006 ( Read more... )

When I went in they were watching Lovely Complex.  I caught the tail-end of an episode at it was pretty funny.  Then after that were two ( Read more... )

I went camping with my field research class this weekend and well, we expected it to be cold, but we didn't expect it to go way below zero and frost.

I had never been so cold in my entire life
and I was scared my feet were gonna get frostbite and fall off (if you've seen Mr. Deeds, that what my feet felt like)

We made a campfire and huddled around it ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the parkour beginner's session with Hamilton Parkour.  It was so awesome.  The people were fun and friendly, and there's a lot of cool techniques that are pretty simple.  A lot of it is gonna be practice practice practice.  I scraped my hand open while jumping up a wall, but seeing as how I actually made it up the wall, it was ( Read more... )

Everyday I want to post on my LJ, but I end up getting distracted or being too busy or something, so I'll harp some shit down now really fast ( Read more... )

Finally got internet in my bedroom.  Yay!

I'm a little bit addicted to XBox Live Arcade (on Jed's console; I don't have a 360).  The games I've downloaded so far are pretty sweet.

Triggerheart Exelica
aka TriggerFart Dyslexia.  A curtain shooter that I think came out on PS2 or something before.  It's not nearly as hard as Touhou and other such games, ( Read more... )

While I'm at work, it is my job to relinquish my voice.  So many times have I had to sit back as people insult my values, or simply go along and agree in conversations that I feel shouldn't even be taking place at all ( Read more... )

Had a class trip today to a Conservation Park to band birds!  Aside from the getting up at 6am, the whole trip was awesome ( Read more... )
